In this thesis, I will address the topic of patents, with a particular focus on atomic energy in the mid-20th century, concentrating specifically on the figure of Enrico Fermi, the renowned Italian physicist of the time. I will explore his life, studies, and research related to the creation and patenting of radioactive isotope production. Fermi is globally recognized for his ability to explain extremely complex concepts in a very clear manner. The legal issues faced by the Italian physicist and his research group from "Via Panisperna" will also be analyzed. This group made a significant international contribution to the design of reactors and nuclear energy, which has been used for various purposes, not only military. Finally, the work of other inventors in this specific sector will also be examined.
In questa tesi tratterò la materia di brevetti con particolare riferimento all'energia atomica a metà Novecento , soffermandomi in particolare sulla figura di Enrico Fermi, famoso fisico italiano dell’epoca, in merito al suo vissuto, ai suoi studi e alle ricerche effettuate nella creazione e brevettazione della produzione di isotopi radioattivi. A livello mondiale a Fermi si riconosce la capacità di spiegare concetti estremamente complessi in maniera molto chiara. Verrà quindi analizzata la vicenda legale che il fisico italiano ha dovuto affrontare insieme al suo gruppo di ricerca di "Via Panisperna” che ha dato un enorme contributo a livello internazionale nella progettazione di reattori e dell’energia nucleare utilizzata per molteplici fini non soltanto bellici. Verranno infine prese in esame le vicende di altri inventori sempre con riferimento a questo specifico settore.

Abstract
In this thesis, I will address the topic of patents, with a particular focus on atomic energy in the mid-20th century, concentrating specifically on the figure of Enrico Fermi, the renowned Italian physicist of the time. I will explore his life, studies, and research related to the creation and patenting of radioactive isotope production. Fermi is globally recognized for his ability to explain extremely complex concepts in a very clear manner. The legal issues faced by the Italian physicist and his research group from "Via Panisperna" will also be analyzed. This group made a significant international contribution to the design of reactors and nuclear energy, which has been used for various purposes, not only military. Finally, the work of other inventors in this specific sector will also be examined.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
